Subject: Transfer of my tape...
I can assure you that JW did not do the transfer of my tape!

Amazing how his name gets on all these things?

This Hartford recording is pretty damn good too.

I have major hearing problems. It’s called tinnitus and for those of you who don’t know it is a constant ringing in your ears. Therefore, it is hard for me to find audience shows that are of good enough quality for me to listen to without doing further damage to my hearing by having to turn up the volume. I am not saying anything about these shows except that as a person with major hearing lose, these are some of the shows that I have on my I-Pod. I am not giving any of these shows a review. I can always find something good in every show…...as long as I can hear it!!!! Here is my list for today, 9/20/08:

7.6.84, 10.15.84, 6.19.91,
7.18.89, 6.21.84, 9.6.85,
10.12.84, 10.12.83, 11.1.85,
8.24.85, 7.31.82, 6.25.92,
8.5.89, 10.31.83, 6.26.92,
10.8.84, 12.5.81, 8.30.85,
11.5.85, 6.26.84, 8.3.82,
6.8.80, 4.3.84, 8.10.82,
3.14.81, 12.26.80, 4.15.83,
4.18.82, 10.31.91, 9.2.85,
10.14.83, 4.2.90, 4.30.90,
10.14.84,

Please let me know if you have any show suggestions that compare to these in quality of sound.
Peace,
Frosty

this is slow smoulder all the way, and nobody is off-time(i've listened to it at least 8 times since posting). garcia is at his most tasteful best, and has, i have recently said to critics of mr medland, full support. can you fault his (BM) playing here?

if you were in a jazz band and stepped out any more than this, and maybe even less, your bandleader would have your head! no, it may not be the most incendiary show, but it is probably the most measured. *no* *one* misses a beat, and believe it or not, for me, thats important.

great performance and sound quality, big rr blues is in the files, just mislabeled.

Subject: Play it LOUD !
There's no reason for Big RR Blues to be missing, it's on the aud tapes and should be here. Someone messed up is the only possible excuse / reason.
My 3rd gen copy sounds great and it's complete.
This show is mostly noted for Phil's Quake Space but it is the first set that really shines. The entire show is excellant and should be played LOUD ! The Sugar Magnolia was the 2nd best of the tour, with the one at Duke coming in at # one. The Bertha played here is an all-time favorite along with FOTD.
The Let It Grow also stands out as a perfect example of what the song should be and was played to perfection.
I will never forget this night.The Big RR Blues is ON the tapes and should be here also. Very sad that it has been omitted, shame on someone(?).

Subject: Awesome GDX Factor Blowout. Sound Is Good.
.................................................................................................... AWESOME. That's the word I kept running across, reading the SBD reviews. It certainly is an apt description for this powerhouse. This is definitely a high energy, X Factor show. Hyperboy is right about Jerry smokin' right off the bat with a sizzling Bertha. Sure is swell to have him in good voice in all of '82. Man, I just want to cry for all the years after this one. Bobby nails Promised Land with Brent adding some fine highlights.
After hearing the first two songs, I started wondering if the pitch was a little too fast? So I got out my old '83 tape (I haven't heard for at least a decade, if not two decades) and put the stopwatch to both. Damn if they didn't match exactly! Wow! This thing is about as hot as you can get! Reminds me of the 12.3 and 12.5.81 burners. Jeepers. And the nice thing is that you can catagorize this performance as "hot & spicy" rather than "rushed & sloppy." It's a very fine line too. The Boyz are definitely "ON" tonight.
The only blemish is a Bertha that sounds like Mr. Cohen is right at the board...at best. There's a lot of distance, so the recording is hollow. Not horribly hollow, but enough where one might pass it up for a better sounding April show. But very shortly, the dynamics get better? This kind of thing happens constantly, and I can never figure out why. Oh well. Other than the so-so sounding start, this AUD isn't too bad, and doesn't hurt the five rating too much. Thankfully, the vast majority of the show sounds like a respectably positioned FOB.
Boy, I'd sure love to get another FOB up to patch that Bertha and fill the missing Big RXR! Rock On Boyz!

Great great grateful for this superb audience recording!

rev-it-up!!!

Subject: missing song?
I have not yet listened to the whole show but it appears that Big Railroad Blues is listed on the set list but not in the download.

Reviewer: hyperboy - - September 23, 2005
Subject: Get the AUD!
Yep I'm sayin' it...get the AUD. This really sounds "live" on my home system...best with the treble only at 9 o'clock and the bass at about 4 o'clock. Also sounds great in the iPod!!

Damn! Jerry is smokin' the whole show! From his opening solo in Bertha you know he's on. I love this show. I've always been a huge 72-78 fan...but now I'm getting really turned on to 80-83. Amazing stuff! So much evolution going on.

The show gets 6 stars...but I give a 4 overall...takes a lot for me to give a 5 for audio quality.
